yooper Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 4:09 pm I am looking at these 2 Bust Dimes for my type set. They are both priced about he same. I would crack the 1831 PCGS graded coin (VF30) from the holder if I bought that one. Which of these 2 would you buy for a type set? Thanks for your input. Report this Post to the Staff

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 4:31 pm Agreed. The 1835. Color is 'right.' And I only want one for a type. Report this Post to the Staff

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 4:38 pm Another vote for the 1835. The 1831 looks washed out...cleaned at some point. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 5:09 pm I hope the PCGS coin is a Details slab, because there is not a chance those surfaces are original. Report this Post to the Staff
yooper Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 5:09 pm Thanks everyone. You confirmed my decision. The only reason for my even considering the slabbed coin was that the VF 30 grade did not mention cleaning. The 1835 picture was not great but I liked the looks a lot more. I know, buy the coin. not the slab('') Edited by yooper 03/02/2015 5:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
yooper Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 5:15 pm superdave, not graded as details. Can't trust the TPG's? It seems that a lot of TPG graded coins that I have looked at lately seem like they should be details or seem to be graded higher than what I would think. Adds to a lot of confusion for us that are still learning. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 6:41 pm TPG's aren't infallible. Mistakes happen. Further, the quality of the imagery may be in play. Who am I kidding? I'm just trying to be kind here. Report this Post to the Staff
